Recently we changed Postfix to use Dovecot for our SASL authentication and we ran into trouble with some of our clients having extraneous spaces at the end of their usernames. The quick fix was to add a space to username_chars. The slightly longer fix was a pretty simple patch to Dovecot. I put the trimming in auth_request_fix_username. I didn't think it warranted a full strfuncs function.
If there is a better way to do this I'm all ears. I don't really like patching with my own code, even if I did essentially steal if from the kernel's strstrip().
How about this: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/15ddb7513e2d
Then you can use auth_username_format = %Tu
